Sisters, is there something special about being blonde? Do men (and boys) really find blondes to be more attractive, more fun, as having more sex appeal? And, especially in the case of—ah—immature young men, does the length and flow of the blonde tresses have anything to do with it? Is there some sort of magical power linked to being blonde? I mean, I added some golden highlights to my brown hair, but things are still pretty much the same for me.
I was thinking about all this last night on the 4+ hour drive home from Appleton, Wisconsin, where we had attended the Baptism and party for out little 8-month-old niece. (And yes, she’s cute and blonde.)
My husband swears he’s not attracted to a certain “type” of woman, but he had made a comment about a guest at the party who he found to be less attractive than he had in the past. The only real difference I saw is that her normally blonde hair had more of a brownish tint to it. I didn’t say anything, but I was thinking about it. A lot.
The IBNA SBW (You-Know-Who) was a blonde. The girlfriend before me was a blonde. The girlfriend before that had some serious blonde highlights. Are we seeing a pattern here? Hmmmm. I wonder.
Or does it have something to do with vixen-type blondes with streaks of whoriness? Is it just the bawdy tart blondes who have more fun and seem more attractive because they demand so much attention? Or are they living down to the stereotype and standard that society has placed upon them?
You, my sisters, are blonde—varying shades of blonde, but still blonde, with those pretty, pale green/grey or darkish hazel eyes. (Who are my biological parents? Why am I brunette with brown eyes?) So, as blondes, what do you think?

Query from the Brunette-ish Sister

Were you food poisoned at that party?
1) your hair is auburn
2) men care more about boobs than hair color/length
3) mom and dad are your parents--I remember when you were born
4) your eyes are better than brown--I'd say chocolate
5) this blonde can assure you there is nothing "special" about being blonde
The whole "blondes have more fun" idea is the biggest load of crap that I have ever heard in my entire life (or at least among the list I've begun). We blondes don't have more fun - -especially us NON-whore blondes. The good blondes who don't go living their life by this stereotype that society (or some stupid man) created have to pay for a lot. We have to pay for the acts of those whore-ish blondes who supposedly "have more fun" or in my words "get around".
And while I've had thoughts about becoming one of those "fun" blondes to an extent... I am what I am, and that's all that I am.
Oh, and by the way, Martha, I freakin' love your non-blonde hair and you, as well as I, should know by now not to listen to stupid men/boys.
Ha ha ha. I have the best sisters in the whole world--like there was every any doubt! Score one for the non-whore blondes and brunette-auburn-golden highlights sidekick!
I'm a brunette now, remember? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FORGOT! Ever since I turned 21, you know my hair has been getting darker and darker (or so it seems). It was the "mom" curse upon me...
'Least I'm not gettin' married all young like the rest of y'all... ;-)
Love to my Sisters, too. Hugs across these cursed miles.
